Condition
Customer states the picture or part of the picture generated from the Top View camera system has an unnatural hue to it.
Technical Background
The camera system constantly adjusts the Top View image by adding colors to achieve as natural an image as possible based on environmental conditions. In certain lighting conditions, with vibrant nearby colors from either the customer vehicle or surrounding objects the camera responds by automatically adding the complementary color to the image to rebalance towards white. This can lead to color deviations. For example, a bright red object would cause the camera to add a green hue. The strength of the color added depends on the brightness of the object and the ambient light.
